Back in the early 1960s, I saw “White only” and “Colored only” signs on drinking fountains and bathrooms but never “Gentiles Only” signs. New one for me.

I, too, have never heard of such a thing, and I have my doubts. Reminds me of when an Irish-American radio and TV pundit claimed that his father saw "no Irish need apply" signs in the mid-twentieth century. Pure blarney.

I have my doubts. Reminds me of when an Irish-American radio and TV pundit claimed that his father saw "no Irish need apply" signs in the mid-twentieth century. Pure blarney.

It was very definitely a real thing:

"No Irish Need Apply" as were the "Gentiles Only" signs.

Glad the U.S. has moved past that. Here is one man's memoir of growing past anti-Jewish bigotry, helped by his service in the U.S. Army:
